SANCO Safe®
Even with masses of glass, there is noneed to compromise on safety.SANCO Safe offers effective protectionfrom break-ins and injury risks at homeand in the work environment.
from glass

Modern architecture is striking in its large glass facades, seeminglyseamless glass surfaces that play with natural light. They reproduce thevistas of their surroundings, or they create their own points of focus bytheir form and dimension. Progressive and innovative techniques permitglazing solutions that just a few years ago were impossible.But in interior finishing too, glass dominates the atmospheric ambience.Very high standards are set for a transparent design both outside andinside. Bigger and more ambitious visualizations are continually callingfor greater safety requirements too. SANCO offers products individuallymatched to requirements and catering to design and functional needs aswell as to statutory provisions.

Safety glass at a glance
Glass is a very hard, highly resistant and yet brittle material thatmight break when subjected to high mechanical or thermal stress.Further processing of the glass to match the stresses expected for itcan give it special safety characteristics.Safety glass is understood as glass provided with defined and safety-relevant characteristics by specific treatment, such as tempering orlamination.Safety in glass means: protection of people and property from outsideeffects, and protection of people if the glass breaks. Protection of peo-ple and property is understood to be protection from penetration, tar-geted attack such as break-ins, bullets and explosives, and protectionfrom falls.Protection of people if the glass breaks is understood to be protectionfrom injuries, from falling or flying glass and from cuts by glass splin-ters.

Toughened safety glass (ESG)
Thermally toughened safety glass (EN 12150) is distinguished by increased resistance to thermal stresses andblunt mechanical stresses. In the event of excessive stresses, it fragments into small and tiny chunks, some sharp-edged, sometimes interlocking with one another, particularly in the case of thick glass or additional enamelling.These glass fragments have a lower propensity to inflict injuries than untempered glass.
Heat-soaked toughened safety glass (ESG-H)
Like ESG, but subjected to an additional and standardised heat-soak test (EN 14179), to avoid subsequent spon-taneous fractures. Mainly required as a facade panel or where called for by technical construction regulations.
Heat-strengthened glass (TVG)
Heat strengthening imparts an increased resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses, although not asstrong as in toughened safety glass, and results in a fracture pattern similar to that in a normally cooled floatglass. Heat-strengthened glass (EN 1863) therefore cannot be safety glass when it is single-pane; it is how-ever often the ideal safety glass when used as laminated safety glass.
Laminated safety glass (VSG)
Two or more glass sheets are laminated using a PVB laminate film (EN ISO 12543-2 and Construction ProductsList). The glass sheets are mostly float glass panes. In the event of the glass breaking, its fragments remainsticking to the film, thereby providing a high degree of residual structural strength. The glass sheets can how-ever also consist of ESG or TVG or a combination of these. In laminated safety glass (VSG) made of two sheetsof heat-strengthened glass, the residual structural strength is particularly high. With VSG made of two sheetsof toughened safety glass, by contrast, it is however practically non-existent if both panes in the laminate aredamaged.
Laminated glass (VG)
Cast-resin laminated glass and all other laminated panes with laminate materials not made of PVB in or onthe glass (EN ISO 12543-2 outside Construction Products List and EN ISO 12543-3) afford certain safety char-acteristics. This applies particularly for higher-quality and multiple-laminated fire-resisting glass. They can how-ever often not attain the safety level of a laminated safety glass. A special case is laminated glass with plasticpanels integrated into it, among others.Safety properties of laminated glass must be verified separately by tests. To be recognised as laminated safe-ty glass, general building authority approval is required.

Safe windows and balcony doors – the bestprotection against burglars
Most burglars try for windows and balcony doors. This is why it’s worth-while to take the necessary safety precautions in these areas. Every sec-ond break-in could be prevented if windows, conservatory doors and bal-cony doors were suitably equipped. 85 % of the windows fitted today failto offer sufficient protection. Property and personal safety can be dramat-ically endangered in a matter of seconds.
Balconies and patios 20 %Ground floor windows 13 %
Roof windows 2 %Garages 5 %

Weak spots based on burglary frequency statistics
SANCO Safe closes off the weak spots in the house that are at risk frombreak-in. Various features are available to ward off specific attack scenar-ios. Resistance to thrown objects, penetration and bullets are the stan-dardised criteria to be met by SANCO Safe safety glass.
Active resistance is aimed protecting flats, houses or villas, as well asbanks, jeweller’s shops and shopping areas which are increasinglyexposed to burglary and vandalism. Higher requirements, for example forgovernment buildings, can also be met with enhanced safety features.
SANCO Safe offers a complete range of glass for protecting both privateand public property. In addition to attack resistance alone, SANCO safetyglass also offers fall prevention, e.g. for balustrades and glass surfaces inelevators.

To ensure safety in glass products, the respective building regulations,laws and standards must be complied with. The examples cited here areonly excerpts from the form valid at the time of going to print. No furtherclaims may be lodged on the basis of these. Further information is avail-able at www.sanco.de or from your SANCO company and as shown bythe list of sources on page 18.

Structural use of glass
Supporting structures made of glass used as supports, beams or finsentail particular safety considerations when selecting the type of glazingand its dimensioning. Due to the required residual load-bearing capacity,only laminated safety glass (VSG) is used, predominantly of toughened(ESG) or heat-strengthened glass (TVG). Residual load-bearing capacityrefer to the ability of a glass structure to prevent, after a glass fracture,breaking through or coming loose from its mounts under its own weightand under an additional load for a certain period.
Vertical glazing
Vertical glazing is understood as aglass sheet or a glazing elementinclined no more than 10° out ofthe vertical.
Walk-on glazing
Walk-on glazing is used for the steps in stairways, for parts of ceilings,for platforms or for pedestrian bridges. In addition to absorbing structur-al effects, a sufficient residual load-bearing capacity after fracture isrequired and can only be met by at least 3-sheet laminated safety glass.For safety reasons, the topmost covering layer is not included in the load-bearing concept.
Tread-on glazing
Tread-on glazing differs from walk-on glazing in that only limited accessis possible to a person for cleaning and maintenance purposes. Therequirements are lower compared with walk-on glazing.

Technical rules for the use of fall-proof glazing (TRAV)
Technical rules for the use of linearsupported glazing (TRLV)Overhead glazing involves glass surfaces with an inclination exceeding 10°from the vertical. Special safety regulations apply with regard to the glasstype to be selected (usually VSG), to ensure residual load-bearing capacityafter a fracture and for dimensioning of the structure. If an overhead glaz-ing design does not conform to TRLV rules, approval on a case-by-casebasis (ZiE) is normally required. The only exceptions here are projectingroof systems with general building authority approval.

Fall-proof glazing must be providedin the area of balustrades and rail-ings where a minimum fall heightis as a rule 1 m (possible varia-tions depending on state, e.g.Bavaria 0.50 m). The main re-quirement is verification of thestructural safety in the case ofimpact loads due to people collid-ing with the glass structure. As arule, laminated safety glass (VSG)is used.
Glazing protecting against fallsgenerally requires approval for theindividual case (ZiE) from thesupreme building supervisoryauthority. The user of this informa-tion must ascertain the applicabil-ity of the provisions in that state inwhich the building project is to becompleted.
Design and safety
10
Glass partition walls
Glass acts not only as a transparent partition wall between indoors andoutdoors: it also offers a wide range of options for the design of interiors –as accentuating wall panelling, as a partition wall or as a room divider.And it doesn’t have to be always ‘glass clear’ here. Structured orcoloured – sometimes it's just a detail that creates an entirely new effect.
Glass staircases
An invitation to step up: stairways and floors made of glass give a rooma very special atmosphere. They are attractive highlights for interior dec-oration. Bright, lightweight and visually open, walk-on glass fits in out-standingly with every building style.
More attractive home with glass:atmospheric, individualised, safe
SANCO® ROOF
A ‘floating’ projecting glass roof system with elegant design, withoutheavy supports obstructing the view. The important thing: SANCO ROOFis much more than just a facade set at an angle, because the glass pro-jecting roof system has to meet stricter requirements in terms of safety,design and glazing technology.
11
Glass doors
A truly transparent invitation tostep inside, because glass createsa spatial separation that at thesame time visually connects. Forexample, glass room doors or all-glass door systems provide lots ofroom for light and a friendly ambi-ence too. The proverbial ‘opendoor’ in your own four walls has avariable and imaginative appear-ance and design.
Glass shower cubicles
Open, translucent and hygienic – that makes glass ideal for use in thebathroom. Small floor areas or dark niches in particular make a realsplash with a glass shower. Round or angular, with transparent or print-ed glass – there are almost no limits to individuality. With plenty of roomto move plus an open feel in the room, the morning shower becomes anexperience, almost as if it was outdoors.
Glass furniture
Cabinets, shelves, tables or hi-fi units can be made from glass – as stan-dard versions or as imaginative one-offs. To do so, all methods of glassfinishing can play a part: ornamenting, etching, sandblasting, enam-elling, silvering – the range of possibilities extends from a simple show-case to a high-quality set.

LAMEX COLORDESIGNColoured safety glass for indoors and outdoors
It has the same basic properties as conventional laminated safety glass.In addition, it offers a universe of colours, if required in more than 1000nuances. Coloured glass combines functionality and aesthetics in aunique way. It permits functional room partitions as well as the design ofmedia facades. LAMEX COLORDESIGN conforms to European standardsin respect of safety requirements.
Examples for application:� Overhead glazing� Balconies� Partitions, stairs� Entrance areas� Facades
SANCO PRINT is a thermally toughened safety glass in accordance withDIN 1249. In conjunction with colour and light, it offers splendid possi-bilities and architecturally attractive solutions for the exterior and interiordesign of buildings, facades and window surfaces. But screen printingalso affords the option of printing arbitrary forms defying geometric def-inition or photos onto glass. Decors – applied selectively – are an effec-tive instrument for light control, e.g. on windows and roofs.Whether it's a brilliant white, a pastel yellow or a pale grey – the glassdecor colours can be freely selected. Almost any required tone is possi-ble. Even multi-coloured prints are possible, either next to or over oneanother.With SANCO PRINT, there are hardly any limits to your creativity: enam-el colours according to RAL, one-off colours, and numerous decors withgeometrically arranged dots, squares and stripes.

1.1 Basic legal aspects
The following basic legal aspects and requirements are applicable inany event. Depending on application, these refer to the standardsand guidelines set forth in 1.2.
1.1.1 LBO, MLTB and Construction Products List
The appropriate state building regulations (LBO) are the legal basisfor German construction laws and set forth the requirements placedon building structures. They are devised as model building regula-tions (MBO) jointly with the responsible authorities of the Germanstates and publicised largely in standardised form.
The Technical Rules publicised by the supreme building law authorityby their publication as Technical Building Regulations are summarisedin a specimen list of Technical Building Regulations (MLTB) approvedin principle by all the states. It is publicised in the states largely in stan-dardised form. The specimen list is continuously updated.
The DIBt (German Institute of Civil Engineering) publicises, in consul-tation with the supreme building inspection authority for constructionproducts in the appropriate list, the technical rules needed for meet-ing the requirements placed on the building structures. The construc-tion products list is continuously updated.
1.1.2Ordinance relating to workplaces (ArbStättV)with directive on workplaces (ASR)
They cover regulations for the protection of employees.To be complied with in particular:ASR 8/4 ‘Translucent walls’ASR 10/5 ‘Glass doors, doors with glass insert’ASR A 1.7 rules, ‘Doors, gates’
1.1.3Regulations on places of public assembly (VStättV)
Regulations for construction and operation of public assembly placesand sports stadiums. Taking into account potential risks due tocrowds.
1.1.4School building guideline (SchulbauR)
Regulations for protecting children and young people in school facili-ties.
1.1.5Hospital building regulations (KhBauVO)
Regulations for the building and operation of hospitals
1.2 Standards and guidelines
The following publications must be complied with, partly in line withstatutory requirements, and furthermore reproduce the generally recog-nised engineering rules for the application in question.
1.2.1Technical guidelines of DIBt
TRLVThe Technical Rules for the use of linear-mounted glazing govern bothvertical and overhead glazing. The September 1998 version was pub-lished in the DIBt issues 6/98. An update of TRLV (version of August2006) is currently in European notification. It also contains regulationsfor walk-on glazing.
TRAVThe Technical Rules for the use of fall-proof glazing, January 2003version, describe the requirements, conditions of use and the verifi-cation process for fall-proof glazing.VFF leaflet V.01: 2003-06 ‘Fall-proof glazing’ explains the TRAV rulesin detail.
TRPVThe Technical Rules for the design and execution of glazing with punc-tiform supports, August 2006 version, describe the requirements, con-ditions of use and the verification process for point-mounted verticaland overhead glazing. Introduction by the building authorities is stillpending.
1.2.2Guidelines of statutory accident insurance (GUV)
More safety when glass is brokenThis GUV information deals with special measures to prevent injurieswhen glass is broken.
Accident prevention regulations for schoolsRegulations for student-appropriate design of schools
Guidelines for child care centre construction and fittingThe guidelines are applicable to components, fittings and outdooramenities in areas intended for and accessible to children in childcare centres.
Sports facilitiesThis GUV information relates to safety for school sports.

1.2.4 Standards
EN 12600: 2003-04‘Glass in building – Pendulum tests – Impact test method and classifi-cation for flat glass’This standard describes the pendulum test, which is also used for dif-ferent structures.
DIN 18516-4: 1990-02‘Back-ventilated, non-loadbearing, external enclosures of buildings,made from tempered safety glass panels; requirements’This standard relates to the use of back-ventilated toughened safetyglass structures. As per LTB, ESG-H must be used for this purpose. Thestandard is also used for non-back-ventilated glass enclosures in simi-lar fashion.
DIN V 18008‘Glass in building – design and construction rules’. This tentativestandard is currently in preparation. Part 1: ‘Terms and generalbases’ and Part 2: ‘Linear-mounted glazing’ were published as draftsin March 2006. The standard is intended to supersede the DIBtTechnical Guidelines quoted in section 1.2.1 and is not yet applica-ble.
prEN 13474The European draft standard prEN 13474 ‘Design of glass panes’ iscurrently under discussion. The rules seem to be impractical partic-ularly for the large number of daily occurring ‘simple’ design situa-tions. They require a high degree of engineering expertise and can-not be used in practice without the use of powerful computer pro-grams.
EN 356Glass in building – Security glazing – Testing and classification ofresistance against manual attack
ENV 1627Windows, doors, shutters – burglar resistance – requirements and clas-sification
EN 1522Windows, doors, shutters – bullet resistance – requirements and clas-sification
